portals?

nah, too easy, we'll save them for the trading part if needs be...

that borrowing of the [/]Ocean Cloud sounded more the thing..

we can either go in disgused as the legal owners of the metal, get it put on our ship, and fly out of there without a fuss, or we can just plain old daylight rob them.

option A, I like, risky, very risky, but if we pull it off, theres no damage to the ship or the crew, and it wont be noticed until the real owners try to pick it up.
B has less planning, less complications, less to go wrong, but there is no waqy we'll get out with out damage, unless we are so lucky that by rights we should be earning our living with poker winnings.

Personally, A involves dressing up and hoodwinking people. It gets my vote...

*looks around, then at the two men*

is the ladies loo's the best place to discuss this?

shall we go occupy that big cushy couch in the common room?

Boros: Companion House;

Safe looks at Citizen lying on the floor holding Jack down, he seems to be saying something to him. Safe looks up. Bride6 & Bride7 look to be arguing.

Gunshots and a commotion outside bring the real world rushing back. Safe looks out the window in time to see an Alliance soldier in front the Gray suit, drop to the ground, a large hole in his head. The Gary suit calmly wipes the blood off his face and drops to one knee hitting a rod on the ground. A squad of soldier takes off at a run, headed to a house down the street, the origin of the gunshots? Safe wonders if it’s the guy signaling them from before.

Monkeys with guns?? Safe rubs his eyes. A low hum fills the air and a pressure builds in his ears. The scene outside slows to a crawl. Monkeys suspended in the air, bullets, now visible, leave a path of disturbed air back to their origins. It’s like the whole scene is suspended in clear gelatin.

“OH SH...!! Sonic mines!!” Safe turns to his people as the man in gray stands, seemingly unaffected, adjusts his glasses and replaces his blue gloves with clean ones and starts towards the house.

“Move!! Into the tunnel!!”

Citizen and Bride6 look at Safe puzzled. Bride7 was already gone.

“What are you talking about?? It should be like shooting fish in a ba….” That’s when they realize the effect was not localized outside. The house offered some protection, but wouldn't shield them from the effects of the mine much longer.

*Walks out of the women's loo with Seryn and Rat, where they just completely failed to see an evil baby bot get smashed into lots of evil pieces.*

Yes so, this plan, just to be clear, is us going into the future to borrow the Ocean Cloud, use it to 'liberate' some raw platinum, Go to Earth-that-still-is, Sell it for cash, to buy the parts we need to build the Ocean Cloud using the borrowed one as a functional model to make sure we get it right, then return the Ocean Cloud to right after we borrow it so it's not missed...?
What could go wrong? I'm In.
Rat, if we're going to impersonate the buyers, I need their names. I can write on a tag, and I'll be them.

Such a genius, I keep forgetting about those tags!

What was the name of that company again? Flatcon...? ...Flancon? Flancrest.....?

whatever, Rat you can sort that out can't you? The shipment is due for pickup... (checks date on wristwatch) in two weeks from now, we go in a week early, pose as company fat cats, say that we decided to come and inspect the quality and if its ready, we may as well take it with us. sound plausible?

I mean, they wont ask us, the cover story may as well be that the Duck told us to do it, but pays to be prepared.

Thats a point, *turns to JH* your name tags, are they just surface, or to they change things like finger-prints and eyes?

Oh, this is so much fun!

PR! *she calls into her comm link.*

I need your help with something. Can you meet me at my nest?

*PR's watch starts bleeping. He looks at it.* Oh! How do I work you again?

*He presses a button and hears CMS speak.*

Oh, hey CMS! Sure, I'll be right there!

*Just a minute or two later, PR reaches the nest.* How can I help? Are you ok?

Yes, I'm fine, PR. Thanks.

But here's the thing. I can't stand my nest being here any longer. So in typical female fashion, I'm going to change my mind. It needs to be somewhere quieter, but with a view. So, I'm thinking the observation lounge. It has windows.

Can you help me move it? I thought you could psychic it over there for me, if I hold the doors open.

Oh.

Sure, um, no need to hold the doors open.

But um, I've...sorta, been living in the observation lounge of late.

I pitched a tent?

Does this mean I have to move?

Ummm, yeah. Fingerprints, eyes, thoughts, feelings, the whole deal. Don't even have to be a real person. But they do have to be a defined person. But it can be dangerous if you aren't 'in tune' with the tags or the personality. That's why it was safe for you to be 'Seryn' because you are. The guy I got it from spent too much time as someone he wasn't and forgot who he was. Sad really. That's why others would have to be careful to not forget who they really are. Plus you have to know a little bit about the person for it to work, so I'll need a bio on anyone I'm impersonating.

Hey there, You. Sorry if this is an inappropriate time, but I'm here to submit myself as an applicant for the job of animal handler if it's still vacant. I have a certain...empathy, i guess, with 'em.

/me hands TRM a resume with a flourish and waits in agonizing anticipation as TRM's face takes on a confused look

TRM: Hmm. Are you sure this is the correct resume? I can't read any of this.

lmd: Really? Let me check. *leans towards TRM to glance at the sheet of paper in his hand* Oh, that's definitely the right one.

TRM: You're sure?

lmd: Yeah, of course...wait. I forgot it's all 'written' in various animal languages...want me to translate?

TRM: Uh, no...I'll take your word for it.

/me looks expectantly at TRM

sounds, ok, *turns to Rat* can you get that sort of information?

Way I figure it, we have a while before we can do anything, if Rat can get that information for us, then we can work out the details from there.

In the meantime, i'm going to go look for TheGreyJedi, check out the Bonaparte and see if there is anything workable left of the fighter.
I'll keep in touch, call me on my comlink if anything interesting happens.

*looks at JH, tries to mouth the words 'call me about the thing*

*grins* bye for now!

Seryn heads off to her room to pick up her bag, and from there heads towards the south wing hanger bays and climbs to the third floor.
